Here goes... time to buy pet food!

So it will be 3 weeks this Saturday... that I'll have had Barklee. So far so good. I think the initial "ooh I can't believe we have a dog!" phase is wearing off... he's acting more 'doggy' now (meaning he sometimes digs at our rugs, or go into a room he's not supposed to and other little misbehaviors) but still being really good and totally lovable.

I'm starting to see the bottom of the food bin, and according to the measurements... a 6 lb bag will only last about a month, so it's on track. I plan to do the official adoption on Sunday, and then on to the next things such as getting his license, updating his microchip, looking into whether doggie insurance is worth it...

He still has a 'people' obsession where he'll see anyone on the street, or coming out of their cars, and he'll use ALL his might to go over to them. And if the person doesn't want anything to do with him, he's still trying to get to them, and so i'll be literally dragging him to continue walking with me. It's really strange. Eventually he snaps out of it and he'll be fine... but until then... it's a very awkward scene.

Fun Stuff! Maybe there will be a Dog Whisperer episode on "Doggie stranger obsession."

In other news... My trip is only days away... and I really need to wrap my head around it and make sure i'm not forgetting ANYTHING i'm supposed to prep. Call to make sure my plane tickets are confirmed... double check my rides to and from airport... what to pack? what to bring to relatives? batteries? travel plug converters? how many days of clothing?

Yep. Yep. Gotta start thinking about these things.
